                         Friday, June 28, 2024

  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 25th 
anniversary of Turner Industries' pipe fabrication facility in Paris, 
Texas. Turner Industries specializes in innovative industrial 
contracting to fully meet client needs while prioritizing safety, 
efficiency, and reliability.
  Turner Industries was first established in 1961 by Bert Turner, a 
young engineer with an entrepreneurial vision. Over the years, it has 
expanded its presence along the Gulf Coast and offered additional 
services, including construction, transportation, maintenance, and 
steel fabrication. In 1998, Turner opened its state-of-the-art pipe 
fabrication facility in Paris with over 375 acres of space. Each pipe 
assembled here is precision-built to support power generation 
facilities, refineries, and petrochemical plants across the nation.
  For its outstanding work, Turner Industries has been recognized as 
the number one industrial contractor in the Associated Builders and 
Contractors' Top 250 Contractors list. It has also been honored by the 
Construction Users Roundtable and presented with the prestigious 
Construction Industry Safety Excellence Award three times for its 
commitment to employee safety.
  In addition to serving as a critical energy backbone for our nation, 
Turner employs over 20,000 hardworking professionals across its 
facilities. It has invested in a new Operations Building at its Paris 
facility, which will greatly contribute to the North Texas workforce 
and community. I would like to especially recognize Mr. Chris Bailey, 
who serves as the Plant Manager and Vice President for Turner's Paris 
operations. Mr. Bailey has dedicated himself to building and supporting 
educational programs in the North Texas community.
  I have requested the United States flag to be flown over our Nation's 
Capitol to recognize this historic occasion and investment for the 
people of District 4. Congratulations to Tuner Industries, and I wish 
them the best.
